MR2 Mk2 Nautical Blue Rev1 NA T Bar SOLD!

I am planning on selling the MR2 in summer so thought I'd make a post now to get interest built, it could be sold earlier to the right buyer.

The car will have just seen 100,000 miles in which time it has done 30,000 miles under my ownership (2 years). I have had the car meticulously cared for and faults sharply rectified. Most work (i.e. the important work) is done by Peter at SBITS - a well known MR2 specialist.

An interesting thing to note at this point is that when I had the cam cover gasket changed it was found the engine was a Jap one - not a UK one. There's minor differences. So in some point in it's life it's had a new engine put in, so technically, the engine hasn't done 100,000 miles!

Indeed, the car has had a lot of work done to it, I'll try and list everything but I've forgotten something inevitably! All paperwork has been kept in a big fat A4 binder.

- Remus Dual Exit Exhaust
- K&N Panel filter
- New refurbed calipers all round
- Handbrake cables
- Coolant change in last year - with Toyota Forlife
- Cambelt change in last year
- Rad cap
- Recent radiator
- Recent alternator
- Clutch change
- Slave cylinder on clutch
- Gearbox (second hand, filled with Redline MT90)
- H&T Prothane bushes all round
- Eibach springs (but I am currently wanting to change these to standard)
- KYB Adjustable shocks
- Remus Exhaust and Decat (as mentioned, it's a jap Rev2 engine)
- New engine mount
- Import rear bumper
- New rear sill
- Rev 2 wheels
- Dipstick holder
- Uprated door speakers, 6x9's in rear and double din Kenwood stereo.
- Refurbed aerial motor and mast
- Front top mounts
- The T bars do not leak but have done previously. I've used silicone sealant and silicone spray to help cure them

As you can see, a lot has been spent on it. Further to this, for your own security, I have had the car serviced (C service - £275 receipt) at SBITS.

Mechanically the car is perfect, runs very well and produced 161bhp (3bhp over Toyota's standard) on the rolling road - the graph I still have to prove it!

So why am I selling such a minter? Firstly, my new job demands something more practical than a two seater - looking at diesel Focus's. Secondly - economy - mine averages about 320miles to a tank which is quite good compared to some and equals about 35mpg. But I could do with more economy, as u can see, I cover a lot of miles every year. Thirdly, I am in the process of getting a motorbike licence which will be my 'joy ride' as it were.

One of many pictures...

Asking price - £2495 ono. I know I don't expect to get the thousands I put into the car. PM me or call 07771 728 244. Little extras for you - I will throw in some half worn Toyo tyres and a turbo engine lid. Great deal! :)

EDIT to add: I have never had the car breakdown. One time the dipstick holder fell off and dropped the oil from the sump as I was driving and had to call the RAC to come out to fix that one! Was an expensive job in the end. The sump had to be dropped in order to get to the hole #-o

Will consider swap for Ford Focus (plus potentially cash your way) or Honda Varadero 125.

I can honestly say this is one well cared for car, Having seen it many times in the flesh and been a passenger in it, I was very suprised at how pokey the car felt and how planted it felt around the twistys.

Josh is a great bloke and truley looks after his car, A steal at this money.



Sad to see you dropping from the fold though fella, Hope to still see you on some events... Your more than welcome to ride shotgun with me anytime matey :wink:

:lol: Cheers fella! May take u up on that!

The normal journey I am doing with this new job is only 2.5 miles so silly using the car for such a short trip really. But no mad rush to sell really so won't let it go for silly money as I know how much I've spent on it.

back to the top

Just want to add that this is one very well cared for Mr2. Josh has meticulously cared for every aspect of his motor & having driven his car myself i can honestly say that anybody looking for a decent uk spec car would be daft not to start with this one!

good luck with the sale matey

Cheers fella! As I say, if no joy from Autotrader in next 3wks then I'll continue ownership for atleast another year. I am in fact changing back to summer Toyo tyres now...

So the bargain continues!
